Kellie Pickler Engaged

Country music star Kellie Pickler, who rose to the top of the Billboard charts with her single “Best Days of Your Life,” celebrated the best day of her life so far on June 15, 2010– the day that songwriter Kyle Jacobs asked for her hand in marriage. Choosing a date with special significance for his bride-to-be, the birthday of Pickler’s late grandmother also marks the birth of the next chapter in the singing sensation’s life, People magazine reports.

The glow of the setting sun and the flicker of candlelight illuminated the American Idol season five contestant’s beaming face, and the lapping waves reaching the sands of the Florida beach seemed to sound as applause as the couple sat on a blanket, sipped champagne and began to plan their future after the proposal.

Currently enjoying their first days a fiances, the happy couple– who have been an item for the last two and one-half years– have yet to announce a date for their impending I do’s. The bride-to-be revealed, however, that when the day arrives she will link arms with her father, with whom she has rebuilt her relationship, for her walk down the aisle.
